A serious two-vehicle collision on the M2 motorway in Kent has led to a fatality and a prolonged road closure between Faversham and Maidstone. The crash occurred early Sunday morning at around 7am, claiming one life.
The affected section of the M2 remains closed as police conduct a full investigation into the incident. Authorities expect the closure to last at least four to five hours.
Foul weather conditions are believed to have contributed to the deadly smash. Emergency services, including two ambulances, responded swiftly to the scene. Kent Police forensic teams have been examining the carriageway to gather evidence.
Several drivers were reportedly trapped within the closure following the collision, adding to the disruption.
National Highways has installed screens along the coastbound carriageway in an effort to keep traffic moving where possible. Kent Police are anticipated to release an official statement and appeal for witnesses shortly.
